I loved this trilogy. It was deeply sensual and erotic, practically sizzling off the pages at times. Both James and Christiana are truly remarkable characters. They have a great sense of who they are and what they will settle for in life. Lila Dubois really hit the mark with this love story. A fantastic reading experience.
James teaches Christiana about ceding contol and trusting him as they explore her submission. They spend their time together wrapped in an erotic cocoon. The more he demands, the easier it becomes for her to submit. It takes a weekend trip to the Caribbean for play party for Christiana to begin realizing she wants more and that maybe something that James is unwilling or unable to give.

A hot conclusion
Wow we are treated to some very steamy scenes in this book. Personally I would have preferred the resolution to have not been quite as easy as it was, but overall I was still happy with how the story wrapped up.
I liked that Christiana never lost her personality or strength, I also appreciated how SSC was adhered to throughout. It’s more of a HFN than a HEA ending, and I get the impression we will see more of James and Christiana in future books, you can easily leave the series here.
The story is well written and flows well, it’s a fairly quick read (though longer than a novella) and manages to pack some wonderful play scenes in, as well as plenty of plot. The pace was good and my attention was easily held from start to finish.

Christiana and James definitely have chemistry but will that be enough to keep them together? Especially if one of them wants more out of the relationship than the other? There were definitely some surprises in this final part of the trilogy.

In San Francisco Love, boundaries are pushed for both James and Christiana and James finally has to face his feelings for Christiana. This steamy page turner is a satisfying end to Christiana and James’s love story and I really enjoyed it. 4.5 stars.

The Relationship Deepens!!!
James and Christiana become closer, and explore all facets of their relationship. They attend a private party which has unique rules for “play”. Offered a collar for the duration of the trip, Christiana realizes she is falling in love with James. Will he break her heart at the end of their agreed upon time?
A beautiful and sensual journey of these two very different people. Such an emotional read – I loved it!!

I am a huge fan of Lila DuBois and this third and final installment of the San Fransisco Trilogy, she writes the perfect ending for this totally imperfect couple. James and Christine are so well written, at times, so infuriating, but a compelling coupe. I love dual POVs, they give you such a better idea of what is going on in the mind of these characters. A page turner from start to finish, I think you will love this trilogy as much as I did.

Lila Dubois saved the best storytelling in the trilogy for San Francisco Love with detailed scenes that added to the character development of Christiana and James. The emotional maturity of Christiana and James brings an intense level of chemistry and understanding of who they are as individuals and as a couple. San Francisco Love intelligently and beautifully brings James and Christiana’s story to a satisfying HEA.

Where do I begin?!? This book is everything that I love about this author. Not only is the hard core BDSM there, but there are real feelings involved. Christiana and James have a chemistry that is at times explosive, but at other times sweet and gentle. It’s absolutely beautiful!
Book 3 in the San Francisco trilogy picks up exactly where book 2 ended. James has plans for Christiana, wicked plans to introduce her to a different side of the BDSM world than she has known before now. Christiana’s feelings for James just seem to be getting deeper, stronger and she isn’t sure where his feelings for her stand.
The conclusion of James and Christiana’s story is just as hot as the first two parts. But San Francisco Love has a level of emotion, a level of intimacy that wasn’t the focus in the beginning. Christiana’s confusion and emotional upheaval touched me, left me with chills. James’ understanding of Christiana’s mind is at times naive, which contrasts nicely with his almost uncanny understanding of her needs and wants. I couldn’t help but love these characters!

Incredible steamy end to this yummy trilogy. Christiana Dell and James Nolan were from two different worlds spending the last of their two weeks together. Christiana knew that she was in love with James but was uncertain how he felt. Her submission was important to James but he knew the kind of man he was and couldn’t give her a long term commitment. Will they both be able to live with themselves?
If you like steamy and little naughty with some romance in there you will love this.

Sighhhhh and holy Moses I love the way this man pushes the limits and more. I also love how Christiana knows what she wants and though it scares her immensely how much she loves James she knows her worth. To submit is not at the cost of oneself.

Christiana and James have HOT sexy fun, but is it just fun? For her? For him? More feelings come into play, are they on the same page or does their time together have an expiration date? So many questions for this couple we’ve come to care about. This story draws you into the world of BDSM, makes it all seem so real, makes you feel it with Christiana. For as spicy a read it’s still a sweet romance too. Sigh…

A very steamy conclusion to this trilogy. Lots of learning was done on both parts on what they both really wanted. I enjoyed seeing how they were going to get their happy end.

This book certainly started out, and kept going, with steamy encounters between Christiana and James. Every fantasy she ever had, and lot she hadn’t considered, come true for her at James’ hands and instructions. Therein lies part of issue, it seemed more sexual and less emotional. There is some feeling of a connection, but it is secondary to sex
I enjoyed the book, it is just a little light on the feelings for most of story. After the sensual build up in the first book, and the emotional connection in the second, this one felt a little flat compared to them

Wow!
What a deeply sensuous, crazy, satisfying, furious ride.
Christiana and James take their two week training program to the private island of a member of the Orchard club. It becomes clear that those two are made for each other.
But at the end of their stay things go capitally wrong.
Both are so entrenched in their way of thinking that I wanted to bash their heads together.
Will they or won’t they end up together?
Guess!

The “Stunning Conclusion” is an accurate description of the third and final part in the “San Francisco Trilogy”
Part one, San Francisco Longing” sets the stage for this three part book.
You meet the characters, get to know a little bit about them, delve into a little of the fantasy and then you have to wait until…
Part two “San Francisco Lost” I think we all have … expectations, ideas, of what might come next in a story, maybe because so many of the books we read follow a pattern, but Lila is full of surprises and keeps you guessing until the last possible moment. Which brings us to …
Part three, “San Francisco Love” this of course, is my personal favorite part because it has a happily ever after. YAY!
I hope you will pick up this three part book that is filled with intelligent, witty, characters who share some struggles, hopes, a little … no make that a lot of their kinky fun and their “stunning conclusion.”
Happy Reading:)
I voluntarily received an ARC of “San Francisco Love” and this is my honest opinion.

4 1/2 Stars! Third and final book in the San Francisco trilogy. Picks up right where part two leaves off. James collars Christina for his friend’s BDSM house party. This is the conclusion of the two-week training contract between James and Christiana. Some hot D/s playing, but can Christina get James to try a romantic relationship too.
